DriveSavers Recovers Data from Apple Devices with the Secure M1 Chip

(Novato, CA, February 11, 2021) — DriveSavers Data Recovery continues to be the leader in the advancement of data recovery services including Apple’s most advanced and secure system, the M1 chip. This new M1 chip offers unparalleled performance and data security.

DriveSavers is well-regarded for its industry-leading data recovery services, as is Apple for its quality and device security. Successfully recovering data from Apple devices with the M1 chip is a huge accomplishment for us and a major technological breakthrough for data recovery science, at large.” Mike Cobb – Director of Engineering

Apple has an established reputation for producing high-performing devices with best-in-class device security. This commitment to efficiency and data safety yielded their first Apple-designed System on Chip (SoC), the M1 chip, in November 2020.

The groundbreaking Apple M1 chip operates as an entire system on a chip. With the M1 chip, previously separate components like the CPU, GPU, RAM and SSD operate in concert with one another on a single component, Apple’s M1 SoC. 

Apple reports that, when used with its Big Sur OS, the M1 chip offers the most advanced security of any personal computer. Devices with the M1 chip have a hardware‑verified secure boot and automatically encrypt every file.

Retrieving information from products with the M1 chip is much more challenging than from Apple’s Intel-based predecessors. Whether it is a hardware or software failure, with the correct user credentials, DriveSavers has safely and securely recovered files from these devices and is proud to be the preeminent data recovery company to successfully recover data from devices with the uniquely advanced M1 chip.Mike Cobb – Director of Engineering

The M1 SoC has replaced the Intel core on the 2020 MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro and Mac mini. Apple anticipates incorporating the M1 chip into more of its computing products in the future.

With over 35 years of experience recovering data for Apple products, DriveSavers Data Recovery engineers have the expertise, technology and capabilities to successfully recover data from any Apple device that has suffered common or catastrophic data loss for any reason including iPhones, iPads Macbooks, iMacs and Mac Pros.
